I personally try to limit my slug shots from 65 to 80 yards and my .30-30 shots I consider 150 my absolute max but prefer out to 100. I am not usually in the open so I see most from 20-50 yards thus I opt for short guns... my 18 inch 20 gauge or my Marlin 336c .30-30 are my only centerfire long guns.
